Spa Maintenance
Spas are fantastic as they are they are utilised all year round. Spas are fairly straight forward to maintain, they do not require as many chemicals as a pool and are much smaller, making it easier to clean and maintain. By having a steady usage throughout the year, the maintenance will not change dramatically each season.
Regular cleaning, water testing and running the filter is the basic requirements to prolong the life of the spa and if you have and use your spa cover you will save even more on!

Spa water testing can be done either at home or at the pool and spa shop by a professional.
At home spa kits are very useful if you do not live near a pool and spa shop, or you like to keep a close eye on your water levels. These at home test kits allow you to test and see results almost instantly.
If you are one who would rather leave it up to the professionals and take the water to a pool and spa shop. All you need to do is see your local spa professionals, they will provide you with a spa water testing bottle. When you get home, turn your spa filter on, put your spa bottle in the water upside down so no water can enter the bottle. Put your bottled up against the water jets and turn the bottle 90DEG to fill the bottle with spa water directly from the spa jets.

Spa chemicals are very important, the key to having a healthy Spa. Bodies of water build bacteria from dust, unfiltered water, leaves and wildlife. Most spa owners will use bromine in their spas to keep their spa water clean and bacteria free.
On top of keeping your spa bacteria free you also need to keep the water levels balanced. If the PH, Alkalinity, and calcium in your spa water is not balances it can pose a risk to the spa users.
